The Forum Itálico tournament is marked by a wave of absences and doubts that leave an open draw full of opportunities.
Holger Rune
The good performance of Alexander Blockx in the 2026 Mutua Madrid Open has allowed him to enter the list of young players who have managed to reach the semi-finals of a Masters 1000 at least once. The Belgian is the latest tennis player born after 2003 to achieve this milestone after Carlos Alcaraz (13), Holger Rune (6), Arthur Fils (2), and Jakub Mensik (1).
Players born in 2003 or later to reach ATP Masters 1000 semifinals:

Holger Rune will complete a miraculous recovery from his serious Achilles tendon injury, returning to the courts earlier than expected. The young Dane has officially announced that he will be competing in the ATP 500 Hamburg 2026 taking place from May 17 to 23, the week before Roland Garros 2026. He will need time to regain competitive rhythm, but his comeback on this tour is great news.

The Dane, who is planning to return to the circuit in Hamburg after his Achilles tendon rupture, stated that the Big 3 "continue to be a great source of inspiration for me."
The Dane has announced his return to the courts in May, prior to Roland Garros, breaking deadlines in his recovery.
The clay court season is taking shape and we already know the Entry List for one of the most important events on its calendar. The ATP Rome 2026 will be special, with new courts at the Foro Itálico and a lineup of players up to the circumstances. At the moment, there are no notable absences: Novak Djokovic, just like in the Mutua Madrid Open, is on a list led by Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, including Holger Rune (although he is likely to withdraw soon) and closing with Jan-Lennard Struff, with a cut at #78 in the ATP ranking.

The Dane, moreover, answered the million-dollar question: he did not want to commit to a possible return date to the circuit, but he made it clear that it will not be before the grass season.
Holger Rune continues to recover steadily from his Achilles tendon rupture with the aim of returning to the circuit as soon as possible. After spending a few weeks in the Middle East training at the ATP Doha facilities, the Danish tennis player has decided to switch to the clay courts of Monaco, without a clear date for his comeback. He mentioned he wanted to return before the clay season ends, but it seems challenging.
Holger Rune is back on Clay 🙌🏽

Holger Rune is back in Monaco after a few complicated weeks marked by the conflict in the Middle East. The Dane was in Doha recovering from his Achilles tendon injury when the crisis erupted in the region, making it difficult for him to leave the country for several days. Rune has finally confirmed his return home through his social networks with a video and a brief message: “Back in Monaco”. The rehabilitation is progressing incredibly well every day. #comebackloading. Everything indicates that his mother and the rest of his team, who were also with him in Qatar, have been able to leave the country along with the Danish tennis player.

The ATP Masters 1000 Montecarlo 2026 has revealed the list of registered players, and as usual every year, there has been a general exodus of American players. Ben Shelton, Tommy Paul, Jenson Brooksby, Learner Tien, Alex Michelsen, and Brandon Nakashima have chosen to take advantage of the opportunity to skip this tournament without any consequences, thus delaying the start of the European clay court season by one more week. They are joined by the injured Holger Rune. The rest of the main players are registered, aiming to defend the title Carlos Alcaraz won.
